An awesome experience, paralleled probably only by real war.

Everything about this game surpassed my expectations (except v1.7). Superior graphics to any RTS game I have come across, with physics to match (body parts are blown off, buildings crumble when hit by shells, trees and walls collapse when run over by armored cars and tanks. If in possession of a DX10 card you will probably want to download the 1.7 patch, but I must insist that you dont, as, despite some improvements, there is a drop in frame rates (though this is acceptable) but more importantly all explosive effects are gone (from muzzle flash to tank shells). However I am not sure if there are similar problems with the off-the-shelf DX10 ready game. Still for the majority of you this is not a problem and even then it will no doubt be ironed out in a later patch. This game is truly groundbreaking, proving that an RTS game can be as fast paced as any shooter. The difficulty can go anywhere from nice'n'easy to punishing depending on the setting. A must have.
